Certified Teacher For Reading, Writing, Math, and Test Prep Tutoring

I have tutored several students throughout this year in various subjects (math, reading, writing). I have helped students organize their notes and assignments, and encouraged good study practices. I have helped students prepare for exams or quizzes by helping them understand main concepts and then details.
Before I worked with Wyzant, I had a Geometry student who was failing. I not only helped him with Geometry concepts, but I taught him how to study for tests. I showed him how to review concepts in the chapter reviews, and the importance of repetition in studying for tests.

Special Education Teacher Who Loves Teaching

As a teacher of students with special needs, study and organizational skills have always been taught to my students. Skills need to be organized in a child's mind, on paper and in life in order to be successful. Many people function in organized chaos. Without some sort of study and organizational skills, a student's work does not get completed nor does it get from point a to point b. I have been teaching 20+ years and I love to see the wonder in a student's eyes when they "get it." I am currently working as a special education teacher in a local suburban school district.

Innovative, Enthusiastic Tutor of German and More!

As a homeschooler, I was allowed to learn on my own schedule and in my own ways. This independence and freedom gave me the opportunity to develop study habits that work for *me* and that have continued to serve me well all throughout my studies (I'm currently working on a master's degree).
As a teacher of useful study skills, I not only have diverse, innovative ideas to share, but I focus on helping my students increase their self-awareness: what do they like to learn? how? when? where? To me, helping a student develop positive study habits is NOT about fitting them into a one-size-fits-
